Historically speaking, both the introduction of double-cross hybrids and use of single crosses have caused the increase in grain yield and significantly improved agricultural practice. Nowadays, the uniformity of crops is regarded as an advantage of modern agriculture, since the uniformity of products is crucial in global market. Thus, uniformity of crop maturation provides both planning and efficient mechanized harvest. F₁ single-cross hybrids of maize, which is an allogamous species, not only exploit heterosis, but also impose homogeneity.

The basic aims of this paper are: firstly, to set up an endogenous model of food production per capita and population; secondly, to estimate the food production per capita regression equation and population regression equation; and thirdly, to determine stability properties of food production per capita and population in Asia during the period 1967-1997. Empirical content of this model confirms the fact that movement of food production per capita and population had unstable character in Asia in the observed period.

Using the autoregression models, the paper considers movement of agricultural population. Irregular movement of agricultural population can be analyzed within the formal framework of the chaotic growth model.
